Just so-so.<br \/>\nThroughout most of the day on Saturday, I was thinking about matching select<br \/>\nchapters from Heskett&#8217;s <i>Toothpicks &amp; Logos<\/i> (which is built into the<br \/>\nquestion) with a few of the ecology pieces on my reading list. I&#8217;d match<br \/>\nthe chapter on communications with Cooper&#8217;s &quot;Ecology of Writing&quot; and the chapter<br \/>\non systems with Spinuzzi&#8217;s stuff on tracing genres and the evolution of ALAS.<br \/>\nBut what about the chapter on objects? <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">*crumple*<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Today, I started with re-reading Heskett and making notes on the parts I <i><br \/>\nknow<\/i> I will use in the answer. Then I re-read parts of Spinuzzi, including<br \/>\nhis C&amp;C article on metaphor and genre ecologies. Then I walked Yoki and started<br \/>\nthinking more and more about Cooper, Syverson, and Nardi and O&#8217;Day. The<br \/>\nquestion, which is generously wide open for the most part, invites me to not<br \/>\nonly describe <i>how<\/i> the concept or framework of ecology is used by<br \/>\nparticular people but also <i>why<\/i> it is used. How does it <i>function<\/i><br \/>\nfor them? There&#8217;s hope; I have a few things to say about this.<\/p>\n<p>Next: re-read Cooper. Reading that essay, I keyed on the way she<br \/>\ndistinguishes ecology from context. Context, a concept she identifies<br \/>\nthrough Burke&#8217;s pentad, is insufficient to explain systemic causality.<br \/>\nPerhaps this limitation results, in part, from tandem pairings (agent::scene) of<br \/>\nthe master terms rather than three and fours (agent::scene::agency::act).<br \/>\nTo account for the complementarity of <i>design<\/i> and <i>ecology<\/i>, then, I<br \/>\nwant to explain that, while basically dynamic or alive, each of them involves a<br \/>\n2+ orchestration of dramatisms as their <strike>unit<\/strike> <i>imbroglio of<br \/>\nanalysis<\/i>. This is, for now, a suggestion that design favors agent and<br \/>\necology favors scene, while, significantly, each also reconciles with the<br \/>\ntechnological imperatives that have amplified agency. From here, the<br \/>\nanswer will work through broad characterizations of Syverson, Nardi and O&#8217;Day,<br \/>\nFuller, and Spinuzzi both to further explore the pairing of design and ecology<br \/>\nand to characterize ecological methods as they span across these four projects.<br \/>\nFinally, the value in design and ecologies for comp\/rhet scholars falls in with<br \/>\nLatour&#8217;s discussion of hybrids in <i>WHNBM<\/i>, with keeping the Gordian knot<br \/>\ntied rather than falling into the trap of localism vs. globalism or<br \/>\nmethodological purification. I forgot to mention: at the outset I&#8217;ll lead with a<br \/>\nbrief gloss about design as a concept that fans writing out well beyond<br \/>\nminimalist alphanumeric rows (re: George in &quot;From Analysis to Design&quot; and Sirc,<br \/>\nin &quot;Box-logic&quot;: &quot;student as passionate designer&quot;).<\/p>\n<p>You think it&#8217;s rough? Fine. No argument here. I have until Thursday morning<br \/>\nto get it polished (where&#8217;d I pack away that pebble tumbling kit?). And then I<br \/>\nhave three hours to pour it, keystroke by keystroke, into this crude mold. My<br \/>\nplan also includes another one-hour sprint during which I&#8217;ll write through as<br \/>\nmuch of this as I can, probably Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Almost forgot! I can find the places where Burke talks about the five master<br \/>\nterms using a metaphor of fingers (bound to hand and tendons) and sun spots<br \/>\n(temporarily structured layers of lava), but I swear I remember reading<br \/>\nsomething about the pentadic set as the multiply intersected shimmers of water<br \/>\nleft in the wake of a passing boat. Could&#8217;ve been from a class session. I&#8217;ll pay<br \/>\nten cents for leads on this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>So-so: that&#8217;s how it&#8217;s gone preparing for writing an answer Thursday morning to the exam question I&#8217;ve had since this past Thursday.
